A few more things I discovered in 2010

After slightly more gin induced deliberation, here are a couple more things I discovered in 2010.

• First impressions are not always correct

I feel a qualifier in is order though; I'm talking about subtle tweaks not complete U-turns of opinion. [If on first contact I really don't like someone, I'm afraid there is no way back from that]. However, it in fact transpires that not all creative minds from London are in fact cocks/she cocks as first thought.

• In amongst the intolerable mountain of dross produced for TV, there are some diamonds in the rough

2010 was the year I was introduced to The Wire, a show that I had been aware of, but unforgivably had omitted from my viewing schedule. All that I can say is that if you haven't seen it - do. I would suggest that is is possibly the greatest TV show ever made. The settings, the characters and the narratives are intriguing, flawless and as completely engrossing and life changing as crack.

I can feel affection, it just takes the right TV show.
